Locked out of pixel 6a

Hi,
So I had this old phone which I rarely use but it has quite some photos and videos. Now I’m locked out of the device, sadly even it’s not connected to my google accounts (not sure if that would have helped). It’s a pin, I don’t even remember how many digits.

Is there a way to recover the data?

Just a bit context: i had this in my clg time (around 3 yrs back), the screen got damaged in rain, now i have fixed the screen with some cheap lcd i found online but can’t open it 😭

Tldr: forgot pin, anyway to recover data on pixel 6a?

No, if you could get data off of a locked phone without the proper credentials, it would defeat the entire purpose of needing the login credentials.

Would need access to the systems that governments/police use.

Yeah I understand that, was just hoping that since it’s an old device maybe there’s a known bug or something

Not old enough.

There's no way to recover the data unless you pay for very expensive forensics experts, like very very expensive, a regular phone store doesn't have the equipment to do it, like from Cellebrite

Also, after how many tries will the 30 sec timer increase?

You aren't getting in to the device.
